A
WARNING
-
- The rear view camera
has
blind spots, in
which objects cannot be detected. Be espe-
cially careful to check for small children and
animals before backing up. Small children
and animals will not always be detected by
the
sensors.
General Information
Applies to vehicles: with parking system (rear, with
rear

camera)

Location of the rear view camera
Sensors in the bumper
Sensors are located in the
rear
bumpers
.
If these
detect an obstacle, audible signals warn you
.
The
range at which the sensors begin to measure is
approximately:
To the side
2 ft (0 .60 m)
Center
rear
5.2 ft (1.60 m)
Distance warning when reversing starts when an
obstacle is detected in the range of the parking
108
assist system. As the distance decreases,
the
time
interval
between the audible tones becomes
shorter.
When the
distance
is
less
than 1ft
(0.30 m),
the
tone becomes continuous. At this point you
should stop backing up.
If
the
distance to
an
obstacle stays
the same,
the
volume of
the
distance signal chime is gradually
reduced
after about 4 seconds (does not affect
the continuous signal tone). Approaching anoth-
er obstacle will cause the distance signal to
sound again at the normal volume.
Rear view camera coverage area
The MMI display shows the area covered by
the
rear view camera
c::>
fig.
123
@
. Objects that are
not in the area covered
@
are not shown on the
MMI display.
We
recommend that you practice parking with
the rear view camera in a traffic-free
location
or
parking
lot
to become familiar with the system,
the orientation lines, and their
function.
When
doing this, there should be good light and weath-
er conditions.
In the MMI display, objects or vehicles appear
closer or further away if:
-you
are
driving in
reverse gear from a level sur-
face onto an incline, or a downward slope,
-
you
are driving
in reverse gear toward
protrud-
ing objects,
- the
vehicle
is
carrying too much
load
in
the
rear.
The accuracy of the orientation
lines
and blue
surfaces diminishes
if:
-
the rear view camera does
not
provide a reliable
image, for example,
in
poor visibility conditions
or if the
lens
is dirty,
- the image on the screen is not visible due to
sun glare and reflection
.
Caring for the rear view camera lens
The rear view camera is located above the rear li-
cense plate bracket. For the parking assist to op-
erate, the lens
